Collection: Vintage Wall Sconces

This collection is put together for people who care about the details, the finish, the shape, the way light falls through a glass shade in the evening.

What Sets Vintage Sconces Apart From Regular Lighting

Most lighting today is generic. It works, but it says nothing.

Vintage wall sconces are different. They come from real design traditions: Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century, industrial, rustic. Each of those movements had its own way of thinking about beauty and function, and you can see that in every fixture. Pair with wabi sabi pendant lights

They also work differently in a room. Ceiling lights flood a space from above. Wall sconces create a softer, more layered glow that feels more natural and lived-in. That's a hard thing to achieve, and vintage styling does it without any effort.

If you want to explore beyond this collection, our full wall sconce collection covers every style and finish we carry.

Styles in This Collection

Victorian Wall Sconces
Curved arms, detailed metalwork, and glass shades that diffuse light beautifully. These suit traditional homes, formal dining rooms, and entryways where first impressions matter.

Art Deco Wall Sconces
Frosted glass, clean geometry, and a quiet sense of luxury. Art Deco sconces have a strong presence without being loud. If you want something with a bit more sparkle in this category, take a look at our crystal wall sconces.

Mid-Century Modern Sconces
Simple lines, warm brass tones, and practical adjustable arms. These work well in contemporary homes that still want some vintage personality.

Industrial Wall Sconces
Exposed Edison bulbs, cage shades, and oil-rubbed bronze finishes. Honest, unfussy, and surprisingly versatile. They work in apartments, studios, home offices, and anywhere you want lighting that doesn't try too hard.

Rustic Wall Sconces
Distressed finishes, warm amber glass, and a handmade feel. A natural fit for farmhouse kitchens, reading nooks, cabins, and cozy bedroom corners.

Finishes Worth Knowing About

The finish is what ties a sconce to the rest of your room. Get it right, and everything pulls together. Here's what's available in this collection:

• Antique brass is rich, golden, and familiar in the best way. See the full brass wall sconces range for more
• Oil-rubbed bronze is deep, dark, and grounded. Works with both traditional and industrial interiors
• Aged copper, earthy and warm, gets better looking over time
• Brushed nickel, understated and clean, sits well in modern and transitional spaces. Browse our brushed nickel wall sconces if this finish is what you need

These aren't finishes that look great in photos and disappoint in person. They're built to hold up and age well.

Where People Actually Use These Sconces

Bedroom Two's sconces on either side of the headboard are one of the simplest upgrades you can make to a bedroom. It frees up your nightstands and creates a much warmer atmosphere than an overhead light ever could. Pair them with a red persian rug underneath, and the whole room shifts.

Living Room Great for framing a fireplace, adding light to a dark corner, or drawing attention to a piece of art. They layer well with floor lamps and overhead lighting.

Hallway A hallway with good sconce lighting feels completely different from one with a bare bulb overhead. Even one fixture changes the tone.
